I am currently following the **“HubSpot CMS for Developers”** course, and I’ve encountered an issue while working with the drag and drop area in the CMS.

In one of the lectures, the instructor links a CSS file using the following code:  
{{ require\_css(get\_asset\_url(‘boilerplate/css/layout.css’)) }}  
In my case, the CSS file I need to link is located at:css/objects/layout.css

So I used the following path:  
{{ require\_css(get\_asset\_url(‘boilerplate/css/objects/layout.css’)) }}

However, the file does not seem to load, and no styles are being applied. I have confirmed that the file exists in the specified location within the **Design Manager**.

Could you please assist me in identifying what might be going wrong here? Is there a different or correct way to reference this file in my case?

Looking forward to your support.

@Ikram8147 is the file you created in the boilerplate? or in your theme? I think the issue might be the boilerplate/ directory in the path and you should replace that with your theme name.
